Huge plazas full of history, kilometres of seafront promenades watched over by skyscrapers, charming villages on the edge of the Turkish Mediterranean... things like these are what await you on a Segway tour of Alicante, and we're going to tell you the keys to a perfect experience with which to get to know the most symbolic aspects of this region of Valencia. Prepare comfortable clothes and the whole group because that's all you need for this simple plan that offers tourism without effort.

The Alicante to-do list: history, culture, gastronomy, beaches, mountains… there’s no surprise you’ll come across amazing, unique summer plans – you won’t have trouble finding a Segway route that suits you and what you are looking for. Are you looking for a Segway tour in a Mediterranean town? Altea is the place for you. Do you want an excursion up a mountain? You’ll fall in love with Benidorm’s ‘Sierra Helada’. A cosmopolitan day, perhaps? Again, Benidorm has what you’re looking for. And if I want to visit beaches? Then Dénia or Jávea are the places you want to visit.

The possibilities are vast and the way Segway tours are organised in Alicante seem to be a tribute to tourism; at sunset, at night, with food included or even tapas or paella tours. This last option (a Segway tour with paella) is the route you're looking for if you want a Valencian-style plan.

Well, that said, as the offer is so varied and each corner seems to be more charming than the last.

What are the top 5 places to visit by Segway in Alicante

- Let's get off to a good start. Altea is the choice if you want to disconnect and enjoy a bit of relaxation. Here you will find a typical Mediterranean village with cobbled streets, small squares full of life, an immense network of alleys and pedestrian paths lined with balconies and flowers, Mediterranean promenades, views from afar of the Peñón de Ifach and the jewel in the crown... its cathedral, the parish church of Nuestra Señora del Consuelo, in the historic centre of the town. A route through Altea will lead you to discover what we are telling you, although it is also very common to find outings that also take you to the village of El Albir. Many of these routes start in El Albir and take you to Altea and it is very common to do them from the north face of the Sierra Helada and there are even some that at the end take you on a visit to a craft brewery. This is why Altea gets a 10/10 when it comes to Segway tours in Alicante, because it combines a bit of everything and even includes visits to various towns and places of interest in the province.

- Visiting Calpe by Segway is the same as entering one of the symbols of Alicante. In addition to its beaches and promenades, what we really want to highlight on a Segway tour of Calpe is its colossal and majestic Peñón de Ifach, which we mentioned when we talked about Altea. It is a promontory that opens out towards the Costa Blanca in the shape of a peninsula, and its peculiar shape, together with the beautiful coves that surround it, make this rock an icon of the province. The tours you'll find here will generally take you along the Principie de Asturias Ecological Walk, a paved route that will take you around practically the whole of the Peñon de Ifach while you enjoy the views of the surrounding coves. So, you can expect to see this natural monument in a complete and immersive way, passing through Cala El Racó and on to Cala del Penyal. Make a reservation.

- Dénia is a coastal town in the north of Alicante that is relatively close to Valencia, so if you find yourself in this city, you have a plan close to you. Here you will find excursions that combine its incredible beaches with its exciting history and also, if you are a veteran foodie, then this city will fascinate you as it has been declared by UNESCO as a Creative City of Gastronomy. The star Segway itineraries that we recommend in Dénia are the routes that lead to the Castle of Dénia or to the mythical Les Rotes Denia Beach. You will find plenty of plans that are at sunset (highly recommended), at night or even those that combine the visit to the castle and the beach itself. Make a reservation.

- Those who have come to the Costa Blanca to enjoy the beach and would also like to get to know them by Segway, should come to Jávea. This town is very close to Dénia and here, practically all you'll find are Segway tours along the beach. For example, we recommend a Segway tour of Cala Blanca, which, more than a cove, resembles a private natural swimming pool; tucked away in a small bay all to itself, with turquoise waters, a rocky bottom and privacy at its best. Seeing this from your Segway will give you the calm you've been looking for. Another must-see in Jávea is the Canal de la Fontana, a winding canal that runs through the interior of the town that flows into the sea, an immersive way to discover this charming place.

- Benidorm is the place par excellence for a Segway tour of Alicante. You'll find routes that take you through the heart of the city to enjoy its skyscrapers at close quarters. If you're up for it, you can also try some of its star tours, which will take you along Poniente Beach or Levante Beach (or both) until you reach the emblematic Balcón del Mediterráneo (Balcony of the Mediterranean). In addition, you can also effortlessly hike the colossal Sierra Helada, an outing that will allow you to enjoy one of the highest points in the region and see the whole of Alicante at your feet. Make a reservation.

It's hard to believe that at this point you're still wondering whether to take a Segway tour of Alicante or not. A region with so much to offer as this one has to be discovered in an immersive way and for that there is nothing like a Segway tour, since in a couple of hours and without any effort, you will have discovered everything there is to know.
